The entire system, K-12 is not working for our kids. Scholastically, intramurally, arts based, shop based, GATE programs...blahblahblah. I was so disappointed.
Yes, reading too early. We believe they shouldn't be expected to learn on that level until they shed their milk teeth. But our daughter was hyperlexic and perhaps things were easier for her because of that? Our main issue for elementary was we were in a predominantly ESL school and...get this...the lessons were taught one week in Spanish, the next in English. SERIOUSLY problematic for advancing. We were literally a year behind each school term.
